Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli has been called up to England’s squad for the games against Spain and Switzerland. The Three Lions already have three keepers in their squad – Everton’s Jordan Pickford, Stoke City’s Jack Butland and Southampton’s Alex McCarthy – but Gareth Southgate has made the decision to bring a fourth into the ranks.

Bettinelli will link-up with his England team-mates at St Georges Park later on Tuesday and this will be his first call-up to the senior team, having represented the Under-21 side on just one occasion.

Bettinelli has featured in two Premier League matches for Slavisa Jokanovic’s side this season – the 4-2 victory against Burnley at Turf Moor and the 2-2 draw with Brighton at the AMEX Stadium last time out.
